The Russian-Ukrainian War Thread

[KipPotapych]

^ I am assuming they are coming from the perspective of “voluntary leaving” the established position rather than being pushed out or position destroyed. At least that was my understanding. I thought about the bridge as well when reading, hence added “and maintain” in brackets. Direct translation from the article would be:

The main battle was fought for the village of Krynky - the only one on the left bank of the Kherson Region, where the defence forces were able to establish a foothold.

Well, writing helps sometimes, haha, as I now see they are talking about some populated area, ie villages/towns/etc. Then they are correct, I believe, and I interpreted it wrong.

 

[KipPotapych]

There was some talk/guesswork about the range of the FAB-3000 not long ago. It appears the Russian sources have posted a video of such a bomb drop that was geolocated 40 km from the frontline. I haven’t watched the Russian Telegram (or anything, really, other than news outlets) for a few weeks now due to time constraints and maybe Feanor can add another source and more context - for instance, this twitter source says that the bomb was dropped on a Ukrainian village, but how do we really know that it made it beyond the “Russian” Donetsk region (ie to and beyond the front line) instead of hitting a random spot within, 10 km away (choose other number)? The logical aim is certainly for Toretsk/Kknstantinovka direction. Anyway, here is the video on Twitter:

The geolocation thread:

A couple of images from the thread:





Feanor, I know you mentioned that you do not have a Twitter account, the video in question basically looks like the right part of the top image.

So there is your minimum range of the 3000s, given the bomb made it where intended. I still don’t see myself how it makes sense to drop one of these big boys instead of four 250s or two 500s (or four 500s) on a target, especially because I have seen plenty of the latter hitting the (assumed) target directly, while the big boys usually land near (in the content I saw). Surely the damage is substantial even from a “near” strike - imagine - but certainly not as much as a direct hit or four would cause.

 

[KipPotapych]

@Feanor, so what happened with the US drone and Mig-31 over the Black Sea? Whatever FB has reported. Sorry, I listened and read, but do not fully understand what he is talking about.

Fighterbomber

Собственно, вся история о Глобал Хоке и МиГ-31 на видео, к которому я могу лишь добавить, что прохода было два. На разных скоростях. И все получилось лишь со второго раза, когда разогнались до 2.3М. Это первый подобный случай в истории авиации, насколько мне известно. На таких высотах и...

t.me

To follow up on that ^, have there been any US recon assets flying over the Black Sea with the proximity to Crimea as they were prior to the incident? I also haven’t seen any reported strikes on Crimea since either (doesn’t mean there weren’t any, just that I haven’t seen any reported). I saw a tweet (can’t find at the moment) from a “legit” source the other day suggesting (or proposing, rather) that there may have been some type of agreement made between the US and Russia in order to avoid the escalation, which is why I even remembered about the incident in the quoted post. It has been reported that just Belousov and Lloyd have now talked twice in the past few weeks, if I recall correctly.

P. S. My apologies for multiple posts.

 

[swerve]

Those nukes from my understanding Ukraine has no codes on using it anyway. The codes stay in Russia.

If you have the weapons in your possession & the skills to do it (which Ukraine did) you can remove the triggering mechanisms & replace them with your own, & then set any codes you choose.

 

[swerve]

One of the Stans I never heard of, ( Bashkortostan ), allegedly has a company of fighters opposing Russia in Ukraine who recently captured one of their citizens who was fighting for Russia.

x.com

Bashkortostan is an autonomous republic within Russia, not an independent country. Its citizens are citizens of Russia. They can be conscripted into the Russian armed forces.

Any Bashkirs fighting for Ukraine would be in serious trouble if captured by the Russians.

I promise I'm working on the next update, and just got bogged down. In the meantime here's some interesting comments from two Chinese soldiers serving in Russian units in the warzone in Ukraine. Neither seems to be all that thrilled with their experience and both seem to be serving for quite some time. One is in a Shtorm-Z unit, the other served with Wagner and later transferred to the Russian VDV. The commentator calls them mercenaries but I don't think this is accurate, since they're serving in the Russian military actually, though while the second one was with Wagner I think he qualified as a mercenary.

 

[seaspear]

With regards to the above video describing compensation for Chinese mercenaries nothing was said for injured or permanently disabled foreign mercenaries ,I found the idea of bonuses for personally killing the enemy interesting as an explanation to the allegation of prisoners being executed a consequence

Update.

Kharkov front.

Ukrainian counter-attacks into Glubokoe continue, but there is some back and forth with Ukraine gaining some ground and Russia recapturing some. In Volchansk a Ukrainian counter-attack has regained some ground, and at the same time Russian forces have crossed the river Volchya dead south. Lastly a Ukrainian counter-attack has broken into Staritsy and controls most of the village. I suspect the fog of war is obscuring the reality of the situations.

Oskol front.

Russian forces creep forward towards Stepovaya Novoselka and have gained ground east and west of Sinkovka, in a clear attempt to bypass the troublesome village along a wide front. It remains to be seen if this yields fruit. Russian forces also continue to expand ground around the Tabaevka-Krahmal'noe area, pushing into Peshanoe.

Chasov Yar.

Russian forces advance on the northern flank of Chasov Yar, gaining ground in Kalinovka, and pushing into the fields towards Grigorievka. Russian forces have also taken the warhouses north of Kalinovka. It seems Russia intends to control a large chunk of area along the canal before pushing into the rest of Chasov Yar. Note, Chasov Yar has some very complex terrain around it and it makes sense for Russia to advance through the town along a wider front. This does mean they will advance slower. There are some reports of Russian troops crossing the canal but this is unconfirmed.

Mar'inka-Krasnogorovka.

Russian forces continue to gain ground inside Krasnogorovka. At this point most of the town is in Russian hands, including all the mid-rise buildings. This comes as a Ukrainian counter-attack recaptures a tree-line south-west of Krasnogorovka and the edge of town, before losing it again. Ukraine still holds most of the private sector in the north-west, and the park in the middle, but it's clearly a matter of time before the town falls.

There are reports that 32 ex-Greek F-16s are being sent to the US for upgrades before going to Ukraine. This suggests that not only are there more F-16s coming, but also that the US is indeed upgrading some of the old F-16s going to Ukraine.

Chasov Yar.

Russian forces advance on the northern flank of Chasov Yar, gaining ground in Kalinovka, and pushing into the fields towards Grigorievka. Russian forces have also taken the warhouses north of Kalinovka. It seems Russia intends to control a large chunk of area along the canal before pushing into the rest of Chasov Yar. Note, Chasov Yar has some very complex terrain around it and it makes sense for Russia to advance through the town along a wider front. This does mean they will advance slower. There are some reports of Russian troops crossing the canal but this is unconfirmed.

Ukrainian sources say that Russians captured Kalinovka, though their maps look more or less the same (ie all red to the canal). They also say that the Russians have now captured all the heights around and access to the canal gaps and are ready for their offensive.



There were also reports (just a few hours later) that Russians launched an attack north of Chasiv Yar (same source for my convenience).



The northern flank has moved they say:

There is some active discussion about the Chasiv Yar defences. Some insist that there is nothing to worry about and the defence lines were built years ago, while others insist that the situation looks pretty bad. We shall see what happens. I think if (likely when) Chasiv Yar falls, especially if it does so relatively quickly (relative to the usual pace), it will be really bad news for Ukraine.


There appears to be a Russian “road of death” in Kharkiv direction, stated to show 22 units of equipment. Looks like a bit of everything, from light trucks to MBTs.

On this note, numerous Ukrainian sources (as well as western analysts) have been lately claiming that Ukraine pulled more resources from everywhere (including reserves) to send to the Kharkiv direction than was necessary, which will inevitably lead to problems elsewhere (perhaps we have seen some of these already).


Uraltransmash caught a fire earlier today (yesterday). Conflicting reports of the size of the fire from different sources, but I thought it is worth mentioning as it is rather an important (military) manufacturing facility for Russia.

Something else I was going to add, but cannot recall at the moment. Oh well.

There was another episode of In Moscow’s Shadows released by Mark Galeotti. It is an excellent piece, one of his best, in my opinion. He talks about the Russian sabotage in the western world and other related (in his opinion) topics. It’s really great. Have a listen while driving, cooking, or whatever. As usually, just under an hour long.

Zaporozhye front.

Russian forces have taken all of Urozhaynoe, and are advancing north of Staromayorskoe. The next village is Makarovka, very small, and next to the river, but overlooked by the higher ground west of it.

Ukrinform made a rare announcement of withdrawal from this village.

I think if (likely when) Chasiv Yar falls, especially if it does so relatively quickly (relative to the usual pace), it will be really bad news for Ukraine.

Several things there. I believe Kalinovka stretches across the canal. So Russia has only taken half of the village. I think pushing along a wider front north of Chasov Yar is a logical decision. If you look at the map, there is a complex set of hills with many fingers north of Chasov Yar. I think that storming Chasov Yar without taking that hill would be problematic. So it would make sense for Russia to attempt to take that area prior to moving on the main part of town. The terrain around Chasov Yar is complex with many artificial ponds where material was excavated and many man-made refuse mounds around the town. I don't think the town will fall quickly unless Ukrainian forces really are stretched far too thin.

On this note, numerous Ukrainian sources (as well as western analysts) have been lately claiming that Ukraine pulled more resources from everywhere (including reserves) to send to the Kharkiv direction than was necessary, which will inevitably lead to problems elsewhere (perhaps we have seen some of these already).

I suspect Zelensky has demanded of Ukrainian command to push Russian forces out. Ukraine is making a lot of counter-attacks there. Ukraine is furiously and repeatedly throwing forces into the fight. Around Glubokoe they're taking unpleasant losses, and gaining relatively little ground. In Volchansk it's turned into an urban meatgrinder except Russia has more ability to airstikes and loitering munition strikes. Ukrainian artillery losses alone in this area are quite unpleasant. I suspect despite the occasional nastiness Russian forces have exprienced like losing a column of troops, overall Russian command is happy with what's happening there. And yes we have definitely seen the effect of this elsewhere. Russian forces were stuck in the canal neighborhood of Chasov Yar until this started. They couldn't break Ukrainian defenses on the Seversk salient for two years, now they've taken Spornoe and Ivano-Darievka. While Seversk itself is still a ways off , the salient is slowly collapsing. Krasnogorovka is almost lost, and Russian forces have restarted advances on the Oskol front along multiple sections. While each gain individually is minor, they're having an accumulated effect. This doesn't mean Ukraine loses the war, but it does mean that they're going to lose quite a bit more ground then they would have without the Russian fixing action at Kharkov. And at this point a Russian drive on Pokrovsk late this year or early next year is starting to look like a possibility.

Bad news for the F16's. They haven't arrived yet. And it could take another several weeks.
As I understand from between the lines: There was a problem for maintenance inside Ukraine, either because it was not safe or because the facilities and teams were not prepared. Poland had to take the decision to undertake Ukrainian F16 maintenance, storage and repair on their soil, at their own facilities.
I expect that most of the F16's in reserve will be in Poland. It's possible that they will take off from Poland, refuel quickly in Ukraine, attack, then return to Poland.

And today, we have a positive decision from the Polish government on a specific issue, which will allow Ukraine to receive F-16 jets sooner

Sooner than when?

Poland's assistance will consist of certain processes of preparing these aircraft so that they can operate in the Ukrainian teather of operations. They will fly to Poland, where they will be thoroughly serviced and refueled. Ukrainian pilots will also arrive in Poland, one or two days will be allocated for familiarization and test flights, and then the F-16s will fly to Ukraine,"

Well, first of all there was never any “expansion of the bridgehead”. Second, who cares if the Russians “tried to land on boats on the right bank” - their fate would be predictable. Third, best men were spent on this “operation”. Like in Bakhmut, they were “grinding Russians” and ended up losing (reportedly/confirmed) 8,000 thousand of literally their best man, while Russians reportedly lost 19,647, 17,175 of whom were prisoners Jack Watling of RUSI had this to say about it:

Well. You don't make a war by sitting arm folded and watching. You always have to take the initiative somewhere, no matter how stretched your forces are.
By withdrawing from the Right Bank, the Russians hoped that the Dnipr would make a natural protection and that only a minimal amount of forces could stay while most of them could be moved to fight somewhere else.

The Russians made the mistake of shelling Kherson. This gave an excellent reason for the Ukrainians to attack the Left Bank. Maybe it wasn't their primary motive but it gave them one more good reason to go.
With Ukrainians disembarking in Krinky, Russians were forced to keep soldiers in this area.

Ukrainians didn't succeed in pushing Russian artillery far enough. Russians are still shelling the Right Bank daily. But the city of Kherson is relatively spared.

Yes, Ukrainians had losses there, as they had in Avdiivka and Lysychansk. And yes, it was their best men, because, unlike the Russian army, only the best men are fighting on the Ukrainian side. That's why they don;t have enough people to fight.

Is it courage or almost suicidal stubborness? The result is that Russians haven't taken Chasiv Yar, Torestsk or Urmanskie yet, were stopped in Volchansk and Ukrainians Marines are still in Krinky, almost miraculously.

There was some talk/guesswork about the range of the FAB-3000 not long ago. It appears the Russian sources have posted a video of such a bomb drop that was geolocated 40 km from the frontline. I haven’t watched the Russian Telegram (or anything, really, other than news outlets) for a few weeks now due to time constraints and maybe Feanor can add another source and more context - for instance, this twitter source says that the bomb was dropped on a Ukrainian village, but how do we really know that it made it beyond the “Russian” Donetsk region (ie to and beyond the front line) instead of hitting a random spot within, 10 km away (choose other number)? Th
.......

There are two explanations:
1/ It hit a target right on the front line, albeit at the limit of the range. Not surprising for Russian, yet not usual neither. These bombs are used as thermobaric. It can kill a lot of soldiers at once, without causing too much visual damages. They could clear several meters of trenches right before an assault.

2/ Yet another mechanical or human failure, which caused the bomb to be dropped too early. Russians lost a lot of bombs that way. Some of them even above the Russian territory.

They never had an initiative there.

By withdrawing from the Right Bank, the Russians hoped that the Dnipr would make a natural protection and that only a minimal amount of forces could stay while most of them could be moved to fight somewhere else.

Russians are not the ones that are stretched (and never were when Ukrainians paddled over).

The Russians made the mistake of shelling Kherson. This gave an excellent reason for the Ukrainians to attack the Left Bank. Maybe it wasn't their primary motive but it gave them one more good reason to go.
With Ukrainians disembarking in Krinky, Russians were forced to keep soldiers in this area.

See the above. Russian forces would still be present in the area, without a doubt. The Ukrainian commander I quoted above even said that they would cross the river otherwise.

The only thing that would be different is that the munitions, including artillery and bombs, could be used elsewhere. This is not a good exchange, in my opinion. It was a political theatre and it cost quite a bit.

Ukrainians didn't succeed in pushing Russian artillery far enough. Russians are still shelling the Right Bank daily. But the city of Kherson is relatively spared.

Spared because of the Krynky?

Yes, Ukrainians had losses there, as they had in Avdiivka and Lysychansk. And yes, it was their best men, because, unlike the Russian army, only the best men are fighting on the Ukrainian side. That's why they don;t have enough people to fight.

Not sure if this is intended as humour. You are definitely wrong here otherwise. Like over 100% wrong, haha. Sounds like Ukrinform though.

Is it courage or almost suicidal stubborness? The result is that Russians haven't taken Chasiv Yar, Torestsk or Urmanskie yet, were stopped in Volchansk and Ukrainians Marines are still in Krinky, almost miraculously.

There are no marines in Krynky. They are now fighting on the islands. Confirmed by all sides.

There are two explanations:
1/ It hit a target right on the front line, albeit at the limit of the range. Not surprising for Russian, yet not usual neither. These bombs are used as thermobaric. It can kill a lot of soldiers at once, without causing too much visual damages. They could clear several meters of trenches right before an assault.

2/ Yet another mechanical or human failure, which caused the bomb to be dropped too early. Russians lost a lot of bombs that way. Some of them even above the Russian territory.

1) Yes, the damage is great, without a doubt. You can almost feel it when watching the videos. “Several metres” is definitely an underestimate.

2) There is absolutely no reason to suspect that it was not an intentional drop in this case. It appeared to be a clear release, suggesting that these things can glide at least 40 km.

and Russian forces have restarted advances on the Oskol front along multiple sections

I have read rumours on some of the Ukrainian (“connected”) Telegram channels and Twitter accounts for the past few days that it is getting really hard to defend the left bank of Oskol.

 

[Fredled]

@KipPotapych Going to Krinky was definetky an Ukrainian initiative. Not a Russian one.
Yes, it's fair to assume that Kherson city is spared from shelling thanks to the action of the Ukrainian forces on the Left Bank. Thought the effect is not complete. Russians are still able to shell some areas there.

Russian forces are not stretched, but they need a maximum of ressources in manpower and in hardware to achieve their goal.

In the Ukrainian army, most of them are volunteers (at least until recently).
The big problem was that no more volunteers came once all of them already went to the front line.

Whereas in the Russian army, it's the opposite. Most of the regular soldiers didn't want to go there. They still fight bravely thought, obeying orders. And those who are doing the frontal assaults are the scum of the society. That's why they don't give a damn how many of them die.

I have read rumours on some of the Ukrainian (“connected”) Telegram channels and Twitter accounts for the past few days that it is getting really hard to defend the left bank of Oskol.

Not only there. And it's no rumour.
Ukrinform is talking about that every day:
Since the beginning of the day, 85 combat clashes have taken place at the front
